[Scene 11 - The Lion Cub]

The Students Are In Dr. Dillamond's Class In Desks. Elphaba Walks In Outrageously Dressed.

Elphaba:
Flips her hair.. Flip Flip! What?

Fiyero:
Nothing, it's just... you've been "Galinda-fied". You don't have to do that , you know?

Dillamond:
Alright, take your seats, class! I have something to say, and very little time to say it. This is my last day here at Shiz I am no longer permitted to teach. I want to thank you for your sharing your enthusiasm, your essays, no matter how feebly structured, and even, on occasion, your lunch.

Mme. Morrible Rushes In.

Morrible:
Doctor Dillamond! I'm so dreadfully sorry.

Elphaba:
Madame, we've got to do something.

Dillamond:
Miss Elphaba, they can take away my job, but I shall continue speaking out.

Scientist:
Come on, goat...

To Men Begin To Carry Him Out Of The Room.

Dillamond:
They are not telling you the whole story! Remember that, class! Remember that.

He Is Gone.

Elphaba:
Doctor Dillamond! After A Pause. Well, are you just going to sit here in silence?

Morrible:
Miss Elphaba, there is nothing we can do. Please take your seat.

Professor:
Good afternoon, students!

Morrible:
Good afternoon.

Professor:
Every day, with every tick of the Time Dragon Clock, in every corner of our great Oz, one hears the silence of progress. For example: this is called a cage!

He Points To A Cage With A Cloth Draped Over It. He Pulls Off The Cloth, Revealing A Lion Cub Inside.

Professor:
Now, we will be seeing more and more of them in the near future. This remarkable innovation is actually for the Animal's own good...

Elphaba:
If this is for his own good, then why is he trembling?

Professor:
He's just excited to be here, that's all. Hits the cage. Now, as I was saying, one of the benefits of caging a Lion cub while he's young is that he never, in fact, will learn how to speak.

Elphaba:
What?

He Motions The Students Forward, Toward The Cage.

Professor:
That's right! Come closer!

Elphaba:
To Fiyero. Can you imagine a world where Animals are kept in cages and they never speak?

Professor:
Now, he may seem a bit agitated but that's easily remedied.

Elphaba:
What should I do?

Fiyero:
I don't know.

Elphaba:
Well, somebody has to... Do something!!!

Sparks Begin To Fly Everywhere. All Students & The Professor Are Moving Uncontrollably Except Fiyero and Elphaba.

Fiyero:
What's happening?

Elphaba:
I don't know I got mad...andd

Fiyero:
Alright just don't move! And don't get mad at me... He Grabs The Cage. Well are you coming?

She Runs With Him After He Snatches The Lion Cub.

Elphaba:
Careful! Don't shake him!

Fiyero:
I'm not!

Elphaba:
We can't just let him loose anywhere, you know. We have to find someplace safe...

Fiyero:
Don't you think that I realize that? You must think I'm really stupid or something!

Elphaba:
No, not really stupid.

Fiyero:
Why is it that every time I see you you're causing some sort of commotion?

Elphaba:
I don't cause commotions, I am one.

Fiyero:
That's for sure.

Elphaba:
Oh! So you think I should just keep my mouth shut! Is that what you're saying?

Fiyero:
No, I'm...

Elphaba:
Do you think I want to be this way? Do you think I want to care this much? Don't you know how much easier my life would be if I didn't?

Fiyero:
Do you ever let anyone else talk?

Elphaba:
Oh, sorry... But can I just say one more thing? You could have just walked away back there.

Fiyero:
So?

Elphaba:
So, no matter how shallow and self-absorbed you tend to be...

Fiyero:
Excuse me, there's no pretense here. I happen to be genuinely self-absorbed and deeply shallow.

Elphaba:
No you're not. Or you wouldn't be so unhappy.

Fiyero:
Fine, if you don't want my help...

Elphaba:
No, I do! Poor little thing, it's heart is trembling... I didn't mean for...

Fiyero:
What did you mean to do? Why was I the only one you didn't do it to?

Elphaba:
Oh look, you're bleeding... it must have scratched you. Referring To A Cut On His Face.

Fiyero:
Yea... or maybe it scratched me. I better get to safety... I mean the cub... get the cub to safety. He Walks Off.

Elphaba:
Fiyero...
